As of the date of this press release, the Company has received commitments for nine different facilities to partially finance the purchase and installation of exhaust gas cleaning systems ("scrubbers") on certain of the Company's vessels.  These commitments are expected to increase the Company’s liquidity by approximately $120.2 million.  Additionally, the Company is in discussions with a different group of financial institutions to finance the purchase of scrubbers which, if consummated, is expected to increase the Company’s liquidity by an additional $57.5 million. Subject to reaching agreement on satisfactory terms relating to the additional scrubber financing, all of these agreements are expected to be signed in the next few months, and the drawdowns are expected to occur as the scrubbers are installed throughout the remainder of 2019 and 2020.
In September 2019, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend with respect to the second quarter of 2019 on the Company's common stock of $0.10 per common share.
In July 2019, the Company’s Convertible Notes due 2019 matured and the outstanding balance of $142.7 million was fully repaid in cash upon maturity.
Acquisition of the leasehold interests in 19 product tankers
On September 26, 2019, the Company acquired subsidiaries of Trafigura, which have leasehold interests in 19 product tankers under bareboat charter agreements with subsidiaries of an international financial institution for aggregate consideration of $803 million.  Of the 19 vessels, 15 (consisting of 11 MRs and four LR2s) were delivered during 2019 and four MRs are currently under construction. The consideration exchanged consisted of:
For the delivered vessels, the assumption of the obligations under the bareboat charter agreements of $531.5 million and the issuance of 3,981,619 shares of common stock at $29.00 per share to a nominee of Trafigura with an aggregate market value of $115.5 million.
For the four vessels under construction, the assumption of the commitments on the bareboat charter agreements of $138.9 million and the issuance 591,254 shares of common stock at $29.00 per share to a nominee of Trafigura with an aggregate market value of $17.1 million. These vessels under construction are expected to be delivered during 2020.
Each bareboat charter agreement has a term of eight years from the delivery date of the respective vessel, and the Company has purchase options beginning after the first year of each agreement. Each agreement bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.50% per annum and will be repaid in equal monthly installments of approximately $0.2 million per month per vessel. Additionally, an aggregate prepayment of $18 million ($0.8 million for each MR and $1.5 million for each LR2) will be made in equal monthly installments over the first 12 months of each bareboat charter agreement.

2



The Trafigura transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the acquisition of the leasehold interests accounted for under IFRS 16, Leases, which was effective from January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the Company recorded lease liabilities and corresponding right of use assets for the delivered vessels upon the closing date of the Trafigura Transaction. The right of use assets were measured based on (i) the present value of the minimum lease payments under each lease (which assumes the exercise of the purchase options at expiration), (ii) the value of the equity issued for each lease (as an initial direct cost) and (iii) other initial direct costs as part of the Trafigura Transaction.
The lease liabilities and corresponding right of use assets for the four undelivered vessels will be recorded upon the commencement date of each lease. The value of the Company's common shares issued for the leasehold interests on the four undelivered vessels was recorded within 'Other long-term assets' on the balance sheet at the closing date of the Trafigura Transaction and will be reclassified to 'Right of use assets' upon the commencement date of each lease.
$250 Million Securities Repurchase Program
In May 2015, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a Securities Repurchase Program to purchase up to an aggregate of $250 million of the Company's securities which, in addition to its common shares, currently consist of its Unsecured Senior Notes due 2020 (NYSE: SBNA), which were issued in May 2014, and Convertible Notes due 2022, which were issued in May and July 2018.
No securities were repurchased under this program during the third quarter of 2019 and through the date of this press release.
As of the date hereof, the Company has the authority to purchase up to an additional $121.6 million of its securities under its Securities Repurchase Program. The Company may repurchase its securities in the open market, at times and prices that are considered to be appropriate by the Company, but is not obligated under the terms of the Securities Repurchase Program to repurchase any of its securities.
Diluted Weighted Number of Shares
Diluted earnings per share is determined using the if-converted method. Under this method, the Company assumes that its Convertible Notes due 2022, which were issued in May and July 2018, were converted into common shares at the beginning of each period and the interest and non-cash amortization expense associated with these notes of $3.7 million and $10.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, were not incurred. Conversion is not assumed if the results of this calculation are anti-dilutive.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company's basic weighted average number of shares were 48,529,024 and 48,251,159, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company's diluted weighted average number of shares were 50,169,591 and 49,735,327 respectively, excluding the impact of the Convertible Notes due 2022, and 55,394,037 and 55,890,573, respectively, under the if-converted method.
The weighted average number of shares, both diluted and under the if-converted method, were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as the Company incurred net losses during those periods.
The Company’s Convertible Notes due 2019 matured in July 2019, and the outstanding balance of $142.7 million was fully repaid in cash upon maturity. As of the date hereof, the Company's trading stock price is below the conversion price of the Convertible Notes due 2022.

Explanation of Variances on the Third Quarter of 2019 Financial Results Compared to the Third Quarter of 2018
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net loss of $45.3 million compared to a net loss of $71.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The following were the significant changes between the two periods:
TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is vessel revenues less voyage expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is included herein because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyages, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and management. The following table sets forth TCE revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

TCE revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased by $15.2 million to $134.0 million, from $118.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was the result of quarter over quarter improvements in TCE revenue per day across all of the Company's operating segments. Overall average TCE revenue per day increased to $13,560 per day during the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $10,519 per day during the three months ended September 30, 2018. While the third quarter of 2019 improved versus the third quarter of 2018, it nevertheless reflected a deterioration from the previous two quarters, with TCE revenue and TCE revenue per day decreasing across all segments. This deterioration was the result of seasonal weakness along with an extended period of refinery maintenance as refiners transitioned towards the January 1, 2020 implementation date of the International Maritime Organization's low sulfur emissions standards.
The increase in TCE revenue per day during the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2018 was partially offset by a decrease in the number of vessels in the Company's fleet to an average of 119.7 operating vessels during the three months ended September 30, 2019 from an average of 124.2 operating vessels during the three months ended September 30, 2018, which was the result of the redelivery of time chartered-in vessels throughout 2018 and in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in the number of operating vessels was partially offset by the acquisition of the 15 delivered vessels from Trafigura as part of the Trafigura Transaction.
Vessel operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased by $1.6 million to $71.0 million, from $69.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Vessel operating costs per day increased slightly to $6,449 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $6,333 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was the result of increased costs in the Company's Handymax operating segment resulting from the transition of technical managers on certain of these vessels.
Charterhire expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased by $13.8 million to $0.0 million, from $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was the result of (i) a decrease in the number of time chartered-in vessels when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2019 to the three months ended September 30, 2018, and (ii) the implementation of IFRS 16 - Leases beginning on January, 1, 2019. The Company's time and bareboat chartered-in fleet consisted of 10 bareboat chartered-in vessels for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and the Company's time and bareboat chartered-in fleet consisted of an average of 5.2 time chartered-in vessels and 10 bareboat chartered-in vessels for the three months ended September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2019, we had 25 bareboat chartered-in vessels which are being accounted for under IFRS 16 as right of use assets and related lease liabilities. Under IFRS 16, there is no charterhire expense for these vessels as the right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis (through depreciation expense) over the lease term and the lease liability is amortized over that same period (with a portion of each payment allocated to principal and a portion allocated to interest expense).
Depreciation expense - owned or finance leased vessels for the three months ended September 30, 2019 remained consistent, increasing slightly by $0.8 million to $45.4 million, from $44.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Depreciation expense in future periods is expected to increase as the Company installs ballast water treatment systems and/or scrubbers on certain of its vessels in the remainder of 2019 and 2020. The Company expects to depreciate the majority of the cost of this equipment over each vessel's remaining useful life.
Depreciation expense - right of use assets for the three months ended September 30, 2019, was $6.3 million. Depreciation expense - right of use assets reflects the straight-line depreciation expense recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of the Company's transition to IFRS 16 - Leases on January 1, 2019. Right of use asset depreciation is approximately $0.2 million per vessel per month for the 10 vessels previously bareboat chartered-in prior to the Trafigura Transaction, and $0.2 million per MR per month and $0.3 million per LR2 per month for the 15 vessels (11 MRs and 4 LR2s) acquired as part of the Trafigura Transaction.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019, increased by $2.9 million to $15.3 million, from $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily driven by compensation expenses, including an increase in restricted stock amortization. General and administrative expenses in future periods are expected to reflect a similar run-rate to that which was incurred in the third quarter of 2019.
Financial expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019, decreased by $7.2 million to $42.9 million, from $50.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in the write-off of deferred financing fees during each period as the Company entered into a series of refinancing initiatives during the three months ended September 30, 2018 which resulted in the write-off of $5.9 million of deferred financing fees during that period, which compares to the write-off of $0.4 million of deferred financing fees during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Additionally, LIBOR rates decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, and there was $0.7 million of capitalized interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2019 as a result of the Company's scrubber and ballast water treatment

system investments. No interest was capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2018. These decreases were partially offset by the implementation of IFRS 16 - Leases, on January 1, 2019, which resulted in an additional $1.4 million of interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Accumulated deficit reflects the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16, Leases. IFRS 16 amended the existing accounting standards to require lessees to recognize, on a discounted basis, the rights and obligations created by the commitment to lease assets on the balance sheet, unless the term of the lease is 12 months or less. Accordingly, the standard resulted in the recognition of right of use assets and corresponding liabilities, on the basis of the discounted remaining future minimum lease payments, relating to the existing bareboat chartered-in vessel commitments for three bareboat chartered-in vessels, which are scheduled to expire in April 2025. Upon transition, a lessee shall apply IFRS 16 to its leases either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (the ‘full retrospective approach’) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 recognized at the date of initial application (the ‘modified retrospective approach’). We applied the modified retrospective approach upon transition. The impact of the application of this standard on the opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 was the recognition of a $48.5 million right of use asset, a $50.7 million operating lease liability and a $2.2 million reduction in retained earnings relating to these three vessels.

As described in the preceding sections, on September 26, 2019, the Company acquired subsidiaries of Trafigura which have leasehold interests in 19 product tankers under bareboat charter agreements with subsidiaries of an international financial institution for aggregate consideration of $803 million.  Of the 19 vessels, 15 (consisting of 11 MRs and four LR2s) were delivered during 2019 and four MRs are currently under construction. For the delivered vessels, the Company assumed the obligations under the bareboat charter agreements of $531.5 million and issued 3,981,619 shares of common stock at $29.00 per share to a nominee of Trafigura with an aggregate market value of $115.5 million. For the four vessels under construction, the Company assumed the commitments on the bareboat charter agreements of $138.9 million and issued 591,254 shares of common stock at $29.00 per share to a nominee of Trafigura with an aggregate market value of $17.1 million. The obligations under the bareboat charter agreements for the undelivered vessels will be recorded upon the delivery of each vessel (the lease commencement date).
This transaction represents a significant non-cash transaction that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

(1)
See Non-IFRS Measures section below.
(2)
Freight rates are commonly measured in the shipping industry in terms of time charter equivalent per day (or TCE per day), which is calculated by subtracting voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges, from vessel revenue and dividing the net amount (time charter equivalent revenues) by the number of revenue days in the period. Revenue days are the number of days the vessel is owned, finance leased or chartered-in less the number of days the vessel is off-hire for drydock and repairs.
(3)
Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs divided by the number of operating days during the period. Operating days are the total number of available days in a period with respect to the owned, finance leased or bareboat chartered-in vessels, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock. Operating days is a measurement that is only applicable to our owned, finance leased or bareboat chartered-in vessels, not our time chartered-in vessels.

Non-IFRS Measures
Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Information to Non-IFRS Financial Information
This press release describes time charter equivalent revenue, or TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss and adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS ("Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are presented in this press release as we believe that they provide investors and other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, with a means of evaluating and understanding how the Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance. These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

21



The Company believes that the presentation of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors or other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, because they facilitate the comparability and the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. In addition, the Company believes that TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in the Company’s industry. The Company’s definitions of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries.
TCE revenue is reconciled above in the section entitled 'Explanation of Variances on the Third Quarter of 2019 Financial Results Compared to the Third Quarter of 2018'.

Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward‐looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward‐looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward‐looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "target," "project," "likely," "may," "will," "would," "could" and similar expressions identify forward‐looking statements.

The forward‐looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. Although management believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company’s control, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, except as required by law, to publicly update or revise any forward‐looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in the Company’s view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward‐looking statements include, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the Company’s operations, risks relating to the integration of assets or operations of entities that it has or may in the future acquire and the possibility that the anticipated synergies and other benefits of such acquisitions may not be realized within expected timeframes or at all, the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with the Company, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in the Company’s operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for the Company’s vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off‐hires, and other factors. Please see the Company's filings with the SEC for a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks and uncertainties.
